About 29 percent of the solar energy that arrives at the top of the atmosphere is reflected back to space by clouds, atmospheric particles, or bright ground surfaces like sea ice and snow. This energy plays no role in Earth's climate system
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The cottontail population will experience rapid growth without predators but will eventually stabilize due to a lack of resources.
Answer:
When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene, it does not evolve and allelic frequencies will remain the same for generations.
There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: there is no mutation, the mating is random, there is no gene flow, the population size is infinite and there is no selection.
If the assumptions are not met for a gene, the population can evolve for that gene (that is, the allelic frequencies of that gene may change).
The mechanisms of evolution are violations of the different Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: mutation, non-random mating, genetic flow, finite population size (gene drift) and natural selection.
<span>D. There would be much less precipitation and evaporation.
Much of the precipitation comes from the evaporation of water from the ocean and posterior condensations into clouds that go over the mountains. If the mountains were to be far from the ocean, there would be much less precipitation and, therefore, evaporation also. </span>
